The low-top legend gets redesigned for kids--with adventure in mind. A cushioned SmartFOAM sockliner, plus softened stitches and linings keep them comfortable as they explore. The classic canvas upper is taken over by a swashbuckling Octopirate, who searches the midsole for treasure. The look is complete with Chuck Taylor All Star classics, like a woven "All Star" tongue label and diamond pattern outsole. Arrgh!
Created in 1917 as a non-skid basketball shoe, the All Star was originally promoted for its superior court performance by basketball mastermind Chuck Taylor. But over the decades, something incredible happened: The sneaker, with its timeless silhouette and unmistakable ankle patch, was organically adopted by rebels, artists, musicians, dreamers, thinkers and originals.
